really smooth loose leaf pu'erh - this is a very drinkable version of my favorite health tea. and a great deal!—Anne

A surprisingly sedate, smooth tea with the classic pu'erh tapestry of flavors: autumn leaves, moist earth, dark chocolate, woodpile, caramel, new leather, mushroom, forest floor. Complex? You bet. Pu'erh is wonderful first thing in the morning before breakfast, drunk straight, nothing added, a meal in and of itself. Wakes you up and keeps you humming all day. This version brews up midnight-dark, slightly more viscous than regular black tea, yet is clean-tasting, light on the palate, and in the drinking leaves no aftertaste. Its earthy sweetness is even more pronounced in the second infusion. Though I noticed a "nose" of ammonia that hadn't been present at the first brewing, the accompanying flavor spike was not unpleasant and added an additional note of interest. I found the third infusion yielded deep color but little flavor. No worries. Two good infusions is enough. This is a fine tea. —Sophie

This Pu'erh in deed does have a strong fishy presence to it. It's what is called a ripe Pu'erh meaning it's cooked to age instead of natural fermentation. I'll try aging in a paper bag or box and see if I can work the flavors out of it. If buying for the first time beware the smell of a young Shou Pu'erh can be really off putting. —rprvw

This tea had a horrible fishy smell. It tasted fine but I could not drink it. —buddy

The smell was off-putting to me...like something inedible. I tried to drink it anyway, and just couldn't get past the smell. After reading such varied reviews, I feel maybe it was a bad batch? I'm not willing to buy anymore though.—Jillsta

This si the first time I had Pu Erh. I liked it. It was smooth yet strong. I can see mixing it with other black teas or drinking it by itself. —Kay

I love Pu Erh with its unique and bold flavor and this is honestly a great variation of a legendary tea. I'm not sure if this particular product is artificially "Shou Cha" or is the real deal but its organic and delicious so making it a great fit! —Tea Rex

This pu'erh tea is clearly made using the synthetic method, as it smells like fish and lacks the signature woody scent and taste. It may be organic, but it is not a good pu'erh. —pmott8

Love this in the morning to get me going! Great flavor—vc

Deep, earthy, and rich. Love this tea any time of the day.—Sail

I never had pu'erh tea before, but I knew I had to try it based on its benefits. This tea tastes great! It has a deep chocolatey flavor. Strong but good.—Celeste

This tea is rich, deep and woodsy...perfect for that a bolder cup.—Hthorn

I'm kindof obsessed with this tea. I've started adding a pinch of this to every black tea I drink. It adds a depth that literally improves everything. Plus the added fat-burning & energy boost aren't bad side effects. =)—Lin

What is with this tea...its smells like bad fish, had to clean out my tea maker several times to get ridge of the stench this tea left. —Terrible

I love this tea in the morning, it has a nice mild bold taste & good with the earl grey—Irv

This was an experiment with mixed results. I liked it, my wife felt it was a bit too much. She tends to like much more subtle flavors and is not really a fan of black teas. I, however, like s nice, rich flavor on occasion, and this one definitely delivers that. It has a light, almost chocolate sort of flavor. but is not sweet or flowery or fruity. If you like a good, strong cup of tea with lots of flavor, you will probably like this one. —Simon

Bought a tin of this at Whole Foods trying to cut down on my carbon footprint....and I can say this tea is AWESOME!!!!! :) Love the hint of chocolate!! Very well might be my go-to pu erh!!! And since it might be good for me since my double by-pass, well, bravo tea spot!!!—Phil

I LOVE this tea. The smell is wonderful as you sip the entire cup and adds to the flavor. If you close your eyes, you can see rich earth, walnuts and warm sunshine. Very soothing during work break time.—Rhonda

i dont know if i got a bad batch or what, but i ordered 7 samples from teaspot, and they all ranged from good to great.. till i opened this one.. it had a "fish food" like smell, after a 3min brew it was a black as coffee, after 3 sips i tossed it out, it tasted like FISH.. i had 3 others check it as well, all said the same thing. it was so bad i had to bleach my tea pot to get the stink out of it. :(—Russ

I've been searching online to find a good tea supplier and I'm so glad I found The Tea Spot. The Organic Puerh tea tasted really good even though it was the first time and thus I couldn't compare it to anything else. I've read some nice articles about Puerh Tea and wanted to experience it. I brewed and tasted once, and it had mushroomy smell and deep, complex, thick taste. It was quite an experience.—Jong

I love this tea, I have been buying it from you for many years and it just makes my day, every day. yum—Pamela Pitt

I'm new to tea, but I love this tea! I drink tea now to replace other caffeine sources (soda, pills), and I don't like coffee. Bolder Breakfast is my other favorite. Love the earthy flavor.—Luke Ewing

I'm afraid I'm not a real fan of this tea. It's got a real earthy tone to it, kind of like mushrooms and mold! Absolutely no astringency, so in that regard it is very smooth. Not for me.—Bill Buchanan

The smoothest loose Pu'erh I've ever tried. This tea is an amazing deal. I buy it by the pound.—Alex

This tea initially smells rather unpleasant as if putrid but I find the flavor is not at all what your nose is warning you of. It has the smoothest flavor of anything I have tasted; tea or otherwise. It has a very light earthy flavor akin to the lightest hint of a shitake mushroom. It quickly takes on the flavor of anything you put in it and I find that mixing Honey in as the sweetener yields absolutely delicious results.—Umbreona

Full-bodied and rich. Even though this tea is not for everyone, it's the one i drink every morning, and this is the best quality I've found at an acceptable price.—Andy

WOW! If you are trying to kick your coffee habit like I am, this is the tea to do it. Until I found this one, I didn't think any tea could match the viscosity that I enjoy so much with coffee. And you can reuse the leaves many times and the flavor keeps hanging on. I also have a sneaky suspicion that this pu'erh might be a good hangover remedy. —Joey S.

Great red color in the infusion... Steeps 3 times, all good. Makes a great value if you buy it by the pound!—Lacey

This is without a doubt, one of the best teas that I have had. I love it!—Thomas Kirkman
